Candied Walnut Shrimp

Ingredients:
1 cup walnuts
1 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoons sugar

Melt the butter in a sauce pan.  Then put in your walnuts.  After they are all covered, add you sugar.  Keep mixing as it is cooking.  They will soon become coated like candy.  They will look nice a crisp.

Sauce:
3 Tablespoons mayonaise
1 Tablespoon honey
2 Tablespoon sweet condensed milk
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice

Make your sauce a mix together.  Make sure your honey is can easily be poured.  The sweetened condensed milk that I used i made from a recipe that is found on this blog, under desserts.

Coated Shrimp:
1 pound shrimp
1 cup flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

Coat all your shrimp then fry in hot grease.  As soon as your shrimp is done you can put it all in a bowl nice and hot, then coat with your sauce.  Add your wonderful walnuts and pour over your precooked rice.

Perfect Tortillas

This is the perfect tortilla recipe. Big, light and fluffy, and great tasting.

Ingredients:
8 cups white flour
2 Tbsp. vital wheat gluten (optional)
3 tsp. salt
3/4 cup canola oil
3 1/8 cups hot water

Directions:
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in Bosch mixer with dough hook attachment. Dough should be moist, but not sticky (add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky). Allow mixture to sit 15 minutes covered in plastic. Divide the dough into balls (a little smaller than a a tennis balls). Cover & let stand 10-15 minutes. Allow your tortilla press to heat up for about 5 minutes before pressing the tortillas. I press them out one right after another (I do not cook them), and stick them in a plastic bag so I have fresh tortillas in the fridge to pull out for certain recipes.
